@edmondperezic Whether AI content is true or not is difficult to determine, as it always holds a bias. This relates to artists because AI art could be plagiarizing other art without an artist’s knowledge. An AI company emphasizing trust is important, but should be taken with a grain of salt.

[Gregorio @classgreg2]

@kirstarry These questions are becoming increasingly asked as AI becomes more capable. AI art is really a product of algorithms and previous art, but I hadn’t pondered the question of AI art as an inspiration. I think it’s still questionable, but I feel many artists would argue for it.

[Gregorio @classgreg2]

AI image generation is decreasing the amount of artistic jobs available. With this decrease, workers in fields like UX or UI design or any art-based fields face further challenges finding a job, even if they utilize AI’s capabilities. #RUVirtualSU25 #RutgersDCIM

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

The Harvard Business Review has some hard to swallow numbers on AI's impact on artistic jobs. Within just a year of AI image gen releasing, demand was down 17%.

"We noticed that over time, there were no signs of demand rebounding, revealing a growing trend of job replacement."

I have to agree that this is a dystopian use of AI and incredibly unethical. This coffee shop using AI to monitor people shows a dystopian application of AI. Imagine if this was used at every job in every workplace; it would be a Black Mirror episode. #RUVirtualSP25 #RutgersDCIM

[HOW THINGS WORK @HowThingsWork_]

Dystopian. This coffee shop uses AI to measure the productivity of their employees & also the time spent in the shop per customer. ☕️

@merebortz500 Having our work be measured this meticulously is dangerous. A machine managing real people on behalf of an organization that might only care about profit is incredibly disturbing. The potential for quality of life issues rising due to such strictness is concerning.

[Gregorio @classgreg2]

@conncheung That much growth is enough to shift the entire workforce, with automation making so much money that it won’t even be worth it to keep human employees. I ponder how many jobs will be lost due to this automation (even though there is much to gain if you are proficient with AI).

[Gregorio @classgreg2]

@kirstarry With no universal morality, machines will always have some sort of bias in their programming. I think having a pro-human approach when teaching AI models, emphasizing kindness and love to others, would not make AI as dangerous, but people have inherent biases that make it not so.

[Gregorio @classgreg2]

@JocelynColleton I like this approach for AI to not nudge behavior. As noted in the reading for this week, AI has the inherent bias of who created it. By not nudging people in a certain direction and guiding them towards the truth, consumer AI becomes less biased and more ethical.

[Gregorio @classgreg2]

@haque_daniel This is super interesting to me because what qualifies as “practical fairness”? What is fair is being determined by these MIT developers, so is it genuinely possible to reduce bias methods when the programmers themselves have inherent bias?

[Gregorio @classgreg2]

AI being unable to grasp the concept of morality means it can never exist without people. This means many jobs are safe contrary to what people think about AI. It is questionable as to how moral AI is when the people writing the code are in the top 1%. #RUVirtualSU25 #RutgersDCIM

[AGI Odyssey @AGI_Odyssey]

There is no universal morality to teach machines

Efforts to build “ethical AI” often start with a flawed assumption: that there is a shared, objective definition of morality waiting to be codified.

But morality is not a fixed dataset. It is shaped by culture, history, religion, ideology, and social norms, all of which differ widely across communities and nations.

Asking AI to “behave ethically” begs the question: whose ethics?

Until there is consensus on foundational moral values (and mechanisms for resolving disagreement) AI will reflect and amplify the contestation that already exists among humans.

@kaceyylewiss Using AI as a tool can be a great benefit, but a slippery slope. Many people get carried away with the power in their hands. The sheer convenience AI brings is already transforming the education system, in good and bad ways. The emphasis on AI being a tool needs to be recognized.

[Gregorio @classgreg2]

@edmondperezic I think teaching AI literacy is absolutely essential with today’s educational climate. Students are already struggling to not use AI for every assignment, causing a major dip in actual learning. The sooner this education is implemented, the sooner students can get back on track.

[Gregorio @classgreg2]

Gemini AI is now available in Google Classroom, which provides a plethora of new opportunities. For teachers, this can overall make tedious tasks much easier. Is this a good thing though? Are students going to be receptive to this type of learning? #RUVirtualSU25 #RutgersDCIM
